merely saying “hp lovecraft was racist” doesn’t really capture the scope of it, like most people hear that and they go “yeah no shit it was like 100 years ago, most people were really racist” but the thing was the dude was especially racist even for the time

like just contemplate how unbelievably racist someone would have to be to stand out as especially racist for the 1910′s and 20′s

Like the guy wrote entire stories about how he thought interracial couples would lead to Fish Monsters ._.

It was even weirder than that, it was that he thought himself monstrous because he had Welsh relatives and he was scared of the “genetic degeneracy” inside himself and the Fish Monsters were an expression of that horror.

So it’s never really been about cosmic horror, it’s about being scared that what is outside in the void is also actually inside you.

So take that horrible bigot shit, magnify it hundreds of times, and then you’re getting close to what he probably thought of mixed race people.

I believe people should read his own words, there’s no “probably”. He literally called for genocide of Black, Asian, and pretty much every non-white American on multiple occasions, and was so antisemitic his wife listed it as grounds for divorce.

It’s worse than most people would even imagine. Warning for racial slurs, dehumanization, and genocide at the link.

There is a reason the Hitler Or Lovecraft test exists and is so difficult.

The way I’ve dealt with this – because I love cosmic horror but also disavow Lovecraft’s internalized awfulness – is to look towards the creators that have reclaimed the genre and reworked what Lovecraft started. People like John Carpenter and Guillermo Del Toro for film, and writers like King and Gaiman, Ligotti and Stross. Anyone that hews too close to Lovecraft’s roots – like old Bloch – I usually ignore.

There’s literary validity in looking at what Lovecraft made and building on it, building it back towards what it should have been, the unknown creeping behind the veil of what we think we understand, but it definitely serves nothing to ignore that he himself left behind a legacy atop a hugely broken pedestal.

For people who would like a nice Lovecraftian adventure written by and about a Black man, try Victor Lavalle’s The Ballad of Black Tom. Cannot recommend it highly enough, and it’s a nice quick read. He’s an amazing author in general.

And yes, Lovecraft was a fucking terrible human being. I love what he brought to the table, which is that particular kind of cosmic horror, but there is no defending his viewpoints. His work was foundational to the kind of horror I especially enjoy, I literally cut my teeth on it (I got paraphrased Lovecraft for bedtime stories) and it infuses my understanding and appreciation of horror as a genre. But that isn’t, and can’t be, a defense of HIM. There are so many authors who do what he did, and while they maybe wouldn’t be there without him, there is at this point absolutely nothing wrong with reading work that he inspired and never reading anything he wrote.

The Death of the Author is a concept for a reason, folks. Just because a person is awful doesn’t mean their work has no value or you have to accept their intended meaning for it.

why do russians end their sentences with) while texting. ??

Yeah I was wondering the same thing! Can anyone explain?

ooh i’m glad to explain this!
see this smiling face 🙂 ? well! in Russia we somehow ended up not using the eye part. so if someone texts you with lots of “))“s in the end of their message, they are just trying to be friendly and smile!
same with (, if a russian person ends their message like that((, it means they are sad. hope that helped!)

which spongebob character is the white gay friend

larry the lobster next question

larry is that type of gay w/ masc4masc and “no fats no fems” on his Floundr bio

Floundr bio I’m out

i had to read this on my dash and now you have to too

How dare you do that to Larry. He is pure and precious and he would not discriminate against fat people in his bio. You ever watch the episodes with him in it? He’s always super nice when it comes to Spongebob’s lack of muscle and always tried to encourage him. Shame on you.

drag them!

He’s nice to Spongebob because Spongebob is a twink.

true. but Spongebob is also fem so

So that would mean Patrick is a bear?

I wanna fuck sandy squirrels

… anyway.. point is Larry the Lobster is a fem ally, accepts every gay, and he encourages everyone to be the best they can be

And from what i heard recently, Larry deleted his Floundr since he started dating Don the Whale who’s an MoC (mammal of colour) and is bestfriends with intersectional feminist woke icon Sandy Cheeks

If anyone’s problematic, it’s squidward’s lazy ass who probably has “discreet” on his profile, only sends torso pics, and would block you when you ask for a face pic

and yes Patrick is a bear who’s a twink chaser hence, his need to accompany spongebob in almost every episode. he want that spussy

I choked because of this

I died at spussy and twinkbob

Stop putting this on my dash
